The Environmental Determinants of Islet Autoimmunity (ENDIA) pregnancy-birth cohort investigates the developmental origins of type 1 diabetes (T1D), with recruitment between 2013 and 2019. ENDIA is the first study in the world with comprehensive data and biospecimen collection during pregnancy, at birth and through childhood from at-risk children who have a first-degree relative with T1D.
High protein high fat meals are considered “difficult” foods because they can cause prolonged hyperglycemia after ingestion. The potential of hybrid closed loop therapy in managing postprandial glucose excursions with these difficult foods remains unknown. This pilot study aimed to explore the impact of manual mode in standard insulin pump therapy and auto mode with hybrid closed loop pump therapy in managing glucose excursions caused by HPHF foods and to obtain feedback from families about each mode.
We will be hosting a CONNECT cuppa catch up with the Diabetes Team on Wednesday, March 10, 2021. The event provides an opportunity to hear about the Centre’s research as well as chat to our researchers about their work.
Researchers from the Rio Tinto Children’s Diabetes Centre, a JDRF Global Centre of Excellence, have been awarded funding through the WA Child Research Fund (WACRF) to undertake research that aims to remove barriers and provide access to the most effective diabetes technologies for all children newly
An innovative cooking program, the first of its kind in Australia, is being offered at Perth Children’s Hospital, combining nutrition education and practical cooking skills for teenagers living with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
The Centre includes researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia’s Diabetes Research Team and the Diabetes Service at the Perth Children’s Hospital.
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease that results from the immune system attacking the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Unlike type 2 diabetes which is potentially preventable, type 1 is a non-preventable disease - currently, its exact cause is not known and there is no cure.
Many of the Centre's researchers have been responsible for discovering and contributing to real game-changers, making a difference to children with diabetes.
We are trying to understand what underlies mental health problems in young people with diabetes, with a school-related focus, and how we can best treat them.
